It was a good entertaining movie. I found all the online right-wing hysteria about this really silly and stupid. The moral of the story should actually appeal to reasonable moderates everywhere: Zeus's Law, whereby strangers (refugees&

Hacker News sadly jumped the shark in the mid-2010s, and went into orbit after Trump was elected the first time. Since then there's been a lot of political performers here, which has killed the quality of discussion significantly. Lobs

I understand the frustrations, but...we're all grown adults here right? Who DOESN'T pay for seat selection if you want or need a good one? The insurance item is ridiculous, but...again, for grown adults with families/kids, do

Is there a reason for wanting to run these agents on your own local machine, instead of just spinning up a VPS and scp'ing whatever specific files you want them to review, and giving it Github access to specific repos? I feel like runn

This is indeed the bizarre convo I was having with myself, having (allegedly) taken some French classes, I was racking my brain on which was the correct answer. We always used "sud", and Midi didn't seem to be south, eliminat

Belgium gave me one of the more annoying train experiences when I was a younger man. I was in Leuven for a conference, and had decided to bring my then girlfriend (now wife) for a trip, after which we would take the Eurostar to London. On t

My sense is that this has happened over the last 20-30 years as overall competence has just dropped in many of these key positions. COVID was a good example of this - lots of humming and hawing about why decisions were being made, and garbl

Nice work! What hardware are you running ComfyUI on, specifically the Wan2.2 workflow? It must be expensive having a GPU running for a hobby project like this?

I truly enjoy how the naming conventions seem to follow how I did homework assignments back in the day: finalpaper-1-dec2nd, finalpaper-2-dec4th, etc etc.

Where does "Smol" come from? It's supposed to mean "Small" right? If yes then what's the etymology and reason for popular usage?

But why would you call it fringe then, if you didn't hear it yourself?

What are you talking about? How does it follow that "if they don't know what to do with 130, they also don't know what to do with 70"? This is literally capital allocation, the decision was that the people laid off could

Hilariously naive comment - "if you have money you should spend it on salaries". This is not a charity, it's a transaction, the salary is paid in exchange for revenue generating activities or supporting activities in a viable

Tekin's conclusion: "it will send a clear message to the wider Ruby community (and those who may be considering joining it) that the majority does not stand with DHH and his toxic views." He is going to be ultra surprised to

Yeah, mind sharing any of the scripts? I looked at the docs briefly, looks like we need to install ALL of nemo to get access to Parakeet? Seems ultra heavy.

System prompts are fine and all, but how useful is it really when LLMs clearly ignore prompt instructions randomly? I've had this with all the different LLMs, explicitly asking it to not do something works maybe 85-90% of the time. Som

Perhaps I'm being mean (haven't read the full presentation) - but the winning team is made up of 2 actresses/artists, 1 social innovator, 1 designer, and 1 astrophysicist?

This never happens in real life....."rewriting software" is the introverted programmer's wet dream because it gives them relevance and the idea of respect. No serious business "rewrites software in something else" o

This sound be the top comment, and the discussion should be around why this is the case (how Congress appropriates money like this), what alternatives there could be, and what are the pros/cons of each different option. Sadly HN is no
